Change Management - The Change Room

The Change Room is a suite of tools and resources designed equip frontline managers with skills and techniques to support frontline staff to overcome barriers to change and manage the change around them. With these new skills frontline managers can facilitate positive growth within their organisation and amongst their staff to ensure the best possible outcomes for people with disability.

A series of workshops were rolled out across NSW in 2014, designed to help frontline managers acquire and put into practice the right skills to adapt their own approach and that of their frontline staff in a time of major change. One vital skill is ensuring staff understand why the change is happening and are fully behind it – which is crucial to ensuring the process is a success.
